That jerk Stef thought as she ran into an abandoned building.

That stupid jerk if only he knew. No I can't think that or people might get hurt. Stef thought her eyes full with tears.

"Stef hey you there?" Someone shouts when Stef looks out to who it is she stands there nervously.

"Hey Bakura is that you?" Stef asks shaking.

"Yeah it's me. Hey why are you crying?" Bakura says walking to Stef.

"No reason." Stef says harshly.

"Come on I'm your friend you can tell me anything." Bakura says softly

"Okay but promise me you won't tell anyone." Stef says

"What is said here stays in here." Bakura says

"Thanks now you want to get comfortable." Stef says as she tells him everything that happened except what happened that morning with him.

"Oh I see. So your mad at Joey for calling you your freakiness." Bakura says

"Yes I just felt so betrayed about both it's like I can't trust anyone you know?" Stef says she sighs, gets up, and says. "You probably think it's stupid and crazy."

"No I don't think it's crazy or stupid." Bakura says as he pushes Stef to the wall.

"Bakura this isn't funny." Stef says nervously

"You must have felt awful the pharaoh just thinks you as a friend." Evil Bakura starts. Stef is to weak to fight the mind control but doesn't give up without a struggle.

"Bakura please let me go I'm going to apologize to them." Stef says trying to get out of his grip.

"And what Joey said about you being a freakiness." He continues.

"Please let me go Bakura. Your hurting me." Stef says trying harder to get out of his grip.

"I see your more powerful than I thought here's a little more persuasion." Evil Bakura says as he makes there lips touch. Then Stef falls deep under his influence. "Now be still little puppet." He says as he ties her up.

"Is she ready?" someone asks.

"She's ready to go as you asked, caused me only a little bit of trouble." Evil Bakura says back

"Good as for your reward you will get it soon at the battle city tournament semi finals." The stranger says as he takes Stef and brings her outside to the van.

"Very well. How I would love to see the pharaoh face when he sees the girl in mortal danger." Evil Bakura says.

The man agrees and takes Stef to a construction site and puts a hook on the ropes and pulls Stef up very high but not too high where no one can see.

"Now to send the invitation to our beloved prey." The stranger says as he records the message.

The message was this: "see this girl." The man says making the camera point to Stef. "If you want her unharmed then come here and duel for her life bring friends if you like." The man says. "But they won't be able to help you, the coordinates are in the package you receive with this video." The man continues and ends the video.

"Now to give this to the pharaoh." The mysterious man says.

SOMEWHERE ELSE

"Heh Yug I think Stef ran off very far." Joey says very tired

"I know but she has to be somewhere..." Yugi says

"Hey are you Yugi Moto?" A stranger says.

"Well yes that's me why do you ask." Yugi replies confused

"A guy said to give you this package says you might want to see it." The stranger says as he gives Yugi the package and leaves.

"Huh I wonder what that was about?" Joey says as Yugi opens up the package.

"Huh it's a video and coordinates." Yugi says to both Joey and Yami.

"Wha play the video then Yug." Joey says. Yugi does as he's told.

The video plays and after the video is done all of them are silent.

"Those freakin rare hunters they captured Stef again." Joey says with a fist

Yugi and Yami switch places.

"When Merik gets here I swear I'll stop all this madness." Yami says.

And with that they set off to the coordinates that was in the box. When they get there they see Stef tied and not trying to escape.

"Well you came." A man says.

"Let the girl go now!" Yami says angrily.

"Happy to just duel me." The man says. Yami accepts the challenge and they duel.
